3 Nephi 9:2

Wo, wo, wo unto this people;

wo unto the inhabitants of the whole earth except they shall repent;

for the devil laugheth, and his angels rejoice,

because of the slain of the fair sons and daughters of my people;

and it is because of their iniquity and abominations that they are fallen!

3 Nephi 9:9

And behold, that great city Jacobugath,

which was inhabited by the people of king Jacob,

have I caused to be burned with fire

because of their sins and their wickedness,

which was above all the wickedness of the whole earth,

because of their secret murders and combinations;

for it was they that did destroy the peace of my people

and the government of the land;

therefore I did cause them to be burned,

to destroy them from before my face,

that the blood of the prophets and the saints

should not come up unto me any more against them.

3 Nephi 9:10

And behold, the city of Laman, and the city of Josh,

and the city of Gad, and the city of Kishkumen,

have I caused to be burned with fire,

and the inhabitants thereof,

because of their wickedness in casting out the prophets,

and stoning those whom I did send to declare unto them

concerning their wickedness and their abominations.

3 Nephi 9:12

And many great destructions have I caused

to come upon this land, and upon this people,

because of their wickedness and their abominations.

3 Nephi 9:20

And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit.

And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit,

him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost,

even as the Lamanites,

because of their faith in me at the time of their conversion,

were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost,

and they knew it not.
